NO COUPON REQUIRED! *2*' by Lauren Packer assistant sports editor Round two at the Eredonia State Invitational proved every hit as exciting as the Lions first visit earlier in the year. Behrend once more came out of its corner swinging as the men's team captured third place and the women's team fifth. The success at the meet was more than Behrend expected “We knew that a lot of the teams there would be very competitive, especially Division II Edinboro and Rochester. Coach kept telling us all week about Edinboro and how tough they are,” said Dave Masilunas. Besides the tough competition at the meet, Behrend encountered another challenge that put the Lions to the test. Fredonia State’s pole vault violated the new regulations which require larger mats to prevent injury and death of pole-vaulters. Behrend had to leave its pole-vaulters behind and rely on its throwers for points. This year’s squad lacks throwers. “We don’t have a lot of throwers, so we were forced to rely on the runners for most of the points,” said Masilunas. “The other teams had a lot of run ners seeded in front of us, so it made our jobs for the day that much harder." However, in true Behrend spirit, both track teams battled through the adversities to claim four first place finishes and numerous top ten finishes against The NFL held its annual Pro Bowl in Hawaii last weekend. The AFC routed the NFC 45-20, The Pro Bowl MVP was Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams. In the NHL’s All Star Game the West beat the East 6-5 after an overtime shootout. Rookie Danny Heatley of the Atlanta Thrashers scored four goals to win the MVP honor. The NBA All Star game is set for Sunday.

Rock triple jumped his way to a first place finish, with a mark of 43 - 11 1/4. Rock also finished third in both the 55 dash and long jump, and finished eighth in the 200 dash. Mike Barlett continued his success m the XOO with a first and teammate Lloyd Mattie finished fifth. Hurdlers Isiah Meek and Masilunas also oonti ib uted to the Lions’ success. “There were a lot more people hurdling than we used to racing.,” said Masilunas. "But. the team just started getting pumped after seeing the other events results and we said ‘Hey, we got a chance "' Not only did they have a chance. Meek and Masilunas went on to finish 1-2 in the preliminary heat and then finished 12 in the finals. Meek's time of 8.1 is only .05 off the Behrcnd record, which Meek holds. Corey Poulsen, one the few throwers on the team, unleashed the shot put 42-11 3/4 lor a third place finish behind two throwers from Ldinbom. On the women’s side, jumper Staci Banas/ek and runner Jessica Sarver were the workhorses In the field, Banaszck tied for first in the high jump clearing five feet. Banaszck went on to finish strong in both the long jump, 15 -It) 1/4, and the tuple jump, 35-1. Sarver took third place in both the NOOm and the 1500. Teammate Claire Manelick crossed the fin ish line shortly after Sarver and captmed fourth place in the 800. In the 1500. Jess Knapp to! lowed Sarver’s lead and came in sixth place “As the captain, I feel like I have a job to go out there and give it my best," said Saner. Hope fully, that carries on to the other girls. I led like there is a lot of pressure on me. but it pist gives me more experience and leadership so that w hen someone is nervous about a race I > an go o\et and talk to them about it." Both Sarver and Masilunas agtee that things ate coming together for this young squad Iho l a ons have the next two weekends oil and look to hit it hard in practice so that Beluvnd will see continued success. Masilunas said.
